Ive been here as a Kid in the 2010's and I remember being a great atmosphere. Tried taking my now fiancé there for a quick coffee while we sit down to go over the sermon we just watched. The food is still good but we just got two pastries and two coffees. (Mind you I haven't been here since I was a kid) Our 2 to-go coffees took 30+ minutes to come out and it was obvious they need to redesign their serving. You've got one dude making coffee, two people taking willy nilly orders with the "sit yourself" aspect. With only 2 food runners taking care of 100+ guests. The muffin was good, coffee was okay but it was exhausting having to yell across a 2ft long table to have conversation. Not a good spot for a date or to study. Great spot to bring a family of 5 if your kids w read more

We stayed at the Carriage Inn just across the street from the Speckled Hen. The Carriage Inn provides a voucher for free breakfast at the Speckled Hen. Food was excellent and the coffee is great. You order at the counter , find a table and they deliver your food to the table. Highly recommended. . read more

Speckled Hen Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Strasburg, Pennsylvania

I'll start off by saying that the food here is very good. This is not a typical full service restaurant; you order at the counter and they will give you a buzzer that you place at your table and your food will be brought to you. We stopped here on a Saturday at about 1:15pm. I placed my order at 1:30pm, and only got all our orders by 2:15. So if you are looking for a quick bite to eat, this is not the place, especially when it a busy. It will take some time to get your food. Coffee orders in the afternoon seem to come out a bit quicker. Other than the long wait for food, this is a decent place to eat for some quality food. The place is neat and seems very modern. The burger how's good as was the southwest breakfast bowl. The tomato dill soup was excellent. My kid ordered the chicken strips with fries, they only give two strips for the kids meal. Overall a decent experience if you have about an hour on your hands for a meal. read more

Cute little cafe with good vibes and good food. You order at the counter and they give you a tracker so they can deliver your order to your table. Food orders take about 30 minutes when it's busy. Drinks come out right away. I ordered an Octoberfest and my husband had iced tea. The beer was from Bespoke Brewery and was very good. My husband said the iced tea was top notch. Chili was okay, I like my own the best so nothing really compares to it. The salads were very tasty, however. The dressing is served on the side, but it was close to closing time and they forgot to give them to us. I had to go to the counter and ask. Otherwise everything was great. read more

Everything we ate here was phenomenal. The omelette had Brussels sprouts in it and tasted really good, never had them in an omelette before. I was skeptical of the maple tahini but that was a bit hit. The coffee here is also really good. The restaurant is really popular and when we ordered it said 25 min wait and we ended up wasting about 45 min before we got our food. The staff was definitely overwhelmed by how busy it was but they were doing their best and were very apologetic. read more

You order at the counter and then they bring you your food and drinks. They serve beer from the neighboring brewery. I had the chicken quesadilla which was very good and a large serving - I could only finish half of it. My husband had a chicken salad croissant which he enjoyed. They have a nice small outdoor seating area as well, which we enjoyed as indoors was very busy and loud. read more

We dined here during our family vacation. We dined in for lunch and then I ordered 2 lattes and a croissant to go. While we waited for the to go order, I had to change the baby's diaper in the car (the restroom line was really long) and my husband brought out the 2 lattes but no croissant. I went back in to ask about it and the gentleman who took my to go order was gesturing and talking loudly and rudely to other employees about how we didn't clear our own plates. So, when I paid for both our dine in lunch and our to go order, you suggested a minimum 18% tip and yet are disgruntled that we didn't clear our own table? On top of not giving us one of the items we ordered? We love visiting Lancaster, but this is one spot we won't visit again. Food was mediocre and the service professionalism was a zero. read more

Fantastic coffee from the self serve pitchers. I'm not an omelet guy but the speckled hen omelet blew me away. Best breakfast I've had in a long time. read more

What a lovely restaurant! My husband and I actually stayed at the restaurant owners' Airbnb and got a voucher to this restaurant. We had a delicious brunch. I ordered the Lancaster quiche, which came with a side salad. The quiche wasn't too heavy and had a good flavor. I really liked the crust. It was a good portion as well. The servers are friendly, and there's plenty of seating inside. Would definitely come back here and try the French toast next time we are in the area! read more

Delicious breakfast spread and drinks. Lots of seating, just have to find one and claim. While your partner lines up to order. We had chicken sandwich and omelette, both delicious! We both at the speckled hen latte which hit the spot. Very busy place, but pretty good 20 mins wait after ordering. I would recommend for sure!! read more

Way overdue review! Visited for breakfast in the beginning of September due to having a voucher for a free meal or money off provided by The Carriage House Inn across the street. Coffee and food was delicious! Highly recommend the French toast topped with fresh fruit and the bacon. Sausage was a patty and average. Looking forward to going back the next time I am in the area! read more

Extremely noisy. Cannot easily have a conversation. Prices a bit strep, too, perhaps due to being a touristy location.

Best coffee I've had in PA After spending the night in Lancaster I was searching for a spot for brekkie. The speckled hen called my name. And I am so glad it did because wow! This is a must stop spot in my opinion. I decided to order the avocado toast, an iced strawberry matcha, and a hot mocha. This avocado toast was not only beautiful, but it was so incredibly delicious! The flavors mingled perfectly and I always love a nice bite of pickled red onion! The matcha was also fabulous. The perfect color!! And a fabulous flavor to go with it. As for this mocha, I genuinely don't know if I've ever had a better espresso! And I'm from Seattle so I consider myself to know a few things. The foam was so think that the coffee art didn't move when I took a sip. Jaw drop moment for me. The inside was nice and bright. Lots of seating! Definitely would stop by if I had the opportunity again! read more

I stopped by here earlier today with my family for our morning coffee. Whenever we go on vacation, we try to visit a new coffee shop each morning, and on this day we decided to head to the Speckled Hen since it was close by. The shop is located on East Main Street and has parking on both the side and the back. From the outside, I did not expect it to be very large, but the interior ended up being surprisingly spacious. The main area includes the ordering counter along with display cases and a Christmas tree, as it was right before the holiday. The cashier was especially nice to my kids and told us about a play area located in one of the side rooms, which we immediately headed toward. That room could seat around twenty four people and had wood floors along with black metal and dark wood chairs. The real win for us, though, was the kids play area. It was set up like a miniature version of the coffee shop, complete with play food and desserts, which kept our kids happily occupied while we enjoyed our drinks. For my coffee this morning, I went with the Gingerbread House Latte, and my wife chose the same. The coffee was very good. You got a solid coffee flavor up front, followed by a clear gingerbread note, and then it finished with a pleasant sweetness that lingered for a bit without becoming overpowering. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our coffees, and while I did not eat anything myself, my wife enjoyed her berry Nutella croissant and my daughter really liked her parfait. read more

This place is horrible. We picked the place the night before and glanced at the menu, but we didn't make any decisions because we *assumed* it would be a place where you could sit down and look at the menu at our leisure. Little did we know... We arrived the next day and there was a line out the door. Okay, fine. It's a busy time of year. Whatever. We wait - assuming this was the line to be seated. Again, no. We get in the door and there are people everywhere- servers going through the line, etc. Just nuts. We found out from a sign that essentially we had to grab a laminated menu, quickly select what we wanted, order at the counter that was four feet away, and simultaneously get a table for ourselves. We sent my nephew get a table (which was crazy to find) and quickly decide. We hurriedly decided, paid sixty dollars for breakfast, and were informed it would be 30 - 45 minutes for us to get our breakfast. Oh, and people in line heckled us to hurry up. Definitely won't be back.​ read more

A surprising find for some gluten free and vegan gals! This was something like you would find in a more urban area. We found our table and perused the menu before heading to the counter to place our order. Got our little buzzers and took a seat.... And then they brought the food to us! I got the sweet potato bowl with GF toast. My friend got the vegan burrito. We both loved our choices. The coffee was excellent, too. We got there as soon as they opened and it was completely empty.... It soon filled up and the kids play area was right behind us. We soon found ourselves shouting to hear one another. Maybe not the best place to sit if you don't have littles with you. I'd love to come back to try some other dishes. They all looked so good. read more

Cute little place across from the carriage house. Plenty of fresh baked items along with hot selections. It was packed this morning, but the line moved quickly and our food - French toast stacker & Avocado toast came up hot and fast. There are a lot of choices in this town, you would do yourself well by coming here. As I write this my wife is ordering a latte to go. This place is clean and well managed - some of the things that are a must for me. Safe travels everyone. Sorry no pics, the food was so good we ate it right up. read more

The food is delish ! Everything is so fresh and they have a nice variety. A bit confusing for the first visit bc they bring your food out but you have to order at the counter, took us a minute to realize. read more

Everything is amazing here, food is great, coffee is great, service is great even with long lines, it moves really fast. You sit yourself and they bring your food using a beeper. Quality is amazing from food to the interior design. Feels very warm and cozy and I'd definitely come back again. read more

We ordered an amazing breakfast for a work meeting. The quiche and parfaits are amazing. Our team eats "light" and the variety they offer is perfect. Don't pass on the oatmeal parfait!!!!! So worth it. They also were so flexible with delivery and even called/email to confirm, which saves me a lot of stress! Such a great local business to support. read more

Came in for coffee and pastry and unfortunately really hated it. Coffee is not bad, but pastries are awful. The most mediocre baking I have ever had. On top of it they messed up our coffee order and we had to wait literally forever. I don't know if this is the only spot in town...it was extremely overcrowded. Ambience and decor, however, were not bad. read more

Speckled Hen Coffee - Inside shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Strasburg, Pennsylvania

Dave and I had one day to spare after graduation in Maryland, so we took a ride to Pennsylvania Dutch Country. We needed to find a place to eat outside with Freckles and we came across the Speckled Hen Coffee Place in Strasburg. This cafe is charming and is located on Main Street. You order at the counter and then you get your own coffee. It's the kind of place that you can relax, read, do school work etc. We both had the western omelettes that were delicious and I had home fries on the side and Dave grits, When our food was ready the servers brought it outside for us along with a water bowl for Freckles. We ate and watched the cars and buggies go by. I love the beautiful green fields and horses and buggies. I even saw the Host Farm which is now a Hershey's property. Here's where I went first my honeymoon a long, long, time ago. We hopefully will return to this beautiful place with its perfect temperatures again. read more

Had a lunch here as we were passing through. A great amount of gluten free options. Breakfast is served all day. French toast was good. Burger was good, but the fries were cold. Salad was good too. You order at the counter and find a table and they bring it to you. You're supposed to clear your table when done. A negative for me is tip suggestions start at 20%, yet, I'm doing 1/2 the work. Custom works for me I guess. Two rooms, one was quieter when we got there, but a couple of kids forgot their inside voices and the lady picking up plates really banged them so it got loud. Overall, a pretty good place to eat breakfast or lunch. read more

Oh my goodness, I haven't had brunch like this in a while! Speckled Hen Coffee was a nice surprise. We needed lunch in between our steam train experience and the Amish farm tour, but there wasn't a lot of options. At first glance I ignored this place because we thought it was just coffee! Then my friend said we should go because they have different options for the adults and the kids. The menu was extremely extensive and so appealing! There were breakfast bowls, omelettes, quiches, dessert, beverages, burgers, you name it! And all seemed like table to farm type of vibe. I went with the homestyle breakfast bowl, which a worker recommended. It had beans, cheese, salsa, bacon and egg all on top of some fresh spinach. Once mixed, it was the best dang bowl I've had. The flavors mixed well, and it didn't feel at all heavy (though to be fair I gave one bacon to my bacon-loving daughter!) I had my meal with their popular iced coconut latte. My friend loved it so much I went to ask which brand they used for the coconut milk in the latte. Turns out they make their own coconut syrup!! Lots of seating options, including a private room with a large table in the back. That's where we sat and felt like we didn't need to be embarrassed when our four little children got a little bit louder. I really wish they had this place in New-York city! I would definitely come back. read more

A great place for breakfast/brunch! The food is delicious and the staff is so friendly! There's plenty of seating inside and outside. You order at the counter and pick a table and the staff will bring your food/drinks to you. Highly recommend the lattes. I ordered an iced coconut latte and it was so good. I also ordered the speckled hen omelette which has candied bacon, cheddar cheese, bell peppers and onions. They sautéed the onions and peppers to give it that caramelized taste 10/10! Definitely give this place a try There's plenty of plenty on the side of the restaurant and there's a playground for the kids with a couple of tables. read more

Food might look great, but the service was a total disaster. We walked in because of the good ratings, and it was only moderately busy. I ordered to-go, waited twenty minutes, and when I finally asked how much longer, I was told it would be another twenty minutes. That's forty minutes for takeout--completely unacceptable. If this place can't handle to-go orders, they need to be upfront about it instead of wasting people's time. Poorly managed, frustrating experience, and I won't be back. read more

A great coffee shop in the town of Strasburg! My family and I took a trip nearby Lancaster and stopped by this coffee shop one morning for breakfast and coffee. Parking is plentiful. The service is great - baristas we're very helpful with both food and coffee menu. My husband ordered an omelette and latte, and I ordered their baked oatmeal and blueberry blue latte, which is decaf tea latte (I subbed for almond milk), and their lavender syrup. I enjoyed it overall and wasn't terribly sweet, which I wanted. I thought the espresso tasted a tad bitter and overly roasted in my husband's latte. But Their breakfast was delicious! I loved their oatmeal bake and would def order it again if I went back there. They have a number of healthy breakfast options, which I wish I could have ordered more of. Prices are also fairly reasonable here. The thing I love about this place, is it is absolutely kid friendly. There is a play area for toddlers, and a table nearby the play area to keep an eye on your kids. My son loved the play area and was keeping himself entertained the entire time. We also ordered for him French toast sticks from the kids menu, and he loved it! All in all, a great experience and hope to visit again one day! read more
